To promote the public health, safety, morals, convenience and general welfare, to lessen traffic congestion in the streets, to provide light and air for all buildings, to avoid undesirable concentrations of population, to prevent overcrowding of land, to facilitate adequate provision of transportation, water, sewage, schools, parks and other public requirements, and to provide the economic and social advantages gained from a comprehensively planned use of land resources, there is established a land use plan for the city.

(Prior code §24-1).

This title, to be known as the "land use ordinance of the city and the land use plan of the city," made a part hereof, is adopted as constituting a part of the master plan of the city pursuant to the provisions of Sections 278.010 through 278.630 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

(Prior code §24-3).

In interpretation and application, the provisions of this title shall be held to be minimum provisions only for the promotion of the public health, safety, morals, comfort and property and general welfare of the public. When this title imposes a greater restriction upon the use of land or upon height, bulk, location or use of buildings than is required by existing provisions of law or by private covenant or other restriction, the provisions of this title shall prevail. Private covenants of deed restrictions which impose more restrictive conditions than herein contained are not superseded.

(Prior code §24-2).
